Ireland.

Conaghtthe fécond part of Ireland is named by Giraldus Cambrenfis, Conacbtiaand Conacià, in Engliih Conaght,and in Iriih Condughtie,that part which bea-

reth Weftward is clofed in with the River Shannon, the o itlet of the Lake or Lough-Erne, which ibme call TroVis,others Banna, & with the maine Wefterne Sea. In ancient times wee may fee in Ptolomee, it was inhabited by the Ganganitwho where aiib named Contant, Auteri,and Magnat*. It is fuppofed this Iriih name Conaugbtiewas compounded of Concani& Nagnat*,xmleife you will derive it fromthe haven Nagnata, mentioned by Ptolomee,which iince was impofed upon the

whole Countrie: for this haven is called Cuon in their Countrie language, to which if you adde Nagnate, it will differ but a litle from Conaugbtie*Well, this Province as it is in lome places freih, and fruitfull ; fo by reaion of certaine Moift-places: yet couvered over with graiïè , which for their foftnefle they ufually tearme Bogbes,likeas all the land befides everywhere is dangerous,and thick fet with many, and tohfe very lying commodiíhadie woods. AsfortheSea-coaft, ous as it doth with many bayes, creekes, & navigable rivers, afteralbrt, it inviteth the inhabitants tpnavi» gation, which iince the warres were ended, they have found the íweetne ife & benefite thereof. As for the Lords of Conacht, wee finde it recorded in the Iriih

Hiftories,that TurlochO-mor,O-Conorruled abiblutely

liam oughter, that is, the upper: other Mac-William eughter, that is the lower. Conaght is at this day di-

vided into thefe Counties: Twomound,or Clare, Gall way, Majo, Siego ; Letrim and Rofcoman,' The Baronies of Atterith and dare are alio under it. The Weft more is indented in with imall in-lets and outlets, or armes of the Sea, hath a border all alongé of greene Hands, & rugged rocks iet orderlie, as it were in a row, among which foure Hands called Arrans, make a Baronie : alfo Inis-ceath, and Inis-bound,

which Bede interpreterh out of the Scotiíh tonge to fignifie, the lie of white Heighfers, whereas it is à meere Britiih word. Further within lyeth a Lake called Logh-Corbes (where Ptolomeeplaceth the River Aufoba)fpreadingout 20 miles or there abouts in length, and 3 or 4 in breadth being navigable, and garniíhed with 300 petty Hands full of grafle,&

bea-

which Lake when it reacheth neere the Sea growing narrow into a River, runneth under Gallway, in the Iriih tonge Gallivenamed ib (as ibme affirme ) of the Gattaciin Spaine. This is the very ring line-trees,

principall Citie of this Province, and reckoned to be one of the third in Ireland: furely, it is a faire Citie, built almoft round, in manner Tower-like of Eutire and fome ftone, and is a Biíhops-Sea,& withali throw the benefite of the haven, anc/roade above faid under

it, being well frequented withMarchants, hath ealie and gainefull trafique, by exchange of rich comme*

in old time this Countrie, and divided it wholly betweene his two Sonnes,CA/and Brien; but at the En-

dities, both by Sea and Laud. Vnto Gallway alfo be-

put in feare,with the great preparation of the Engliih warre, hanging io neere over his head, he betooke himfelfe into the protection of King Henry the fécond, without trying the hazard of Battaile.But when as forthwith he brake his allégeance, and revolted MilesCoganwas the firft Englifhman, that gave the attempt upö Conachtjhough his enterpriie failed. Howbeit, that King of Conaght abovefaid, was driven to this exigent, as to acknowledge himfelfe thefKing of Englands Liege-man, toferve himfaithfully ashisman, and to pay himyeerely, of every tenth beau one hide mercat* able. A nd King John graunted,

that the third part

from hence (in which semaine fome footings of the

name Auteri)commody called Athenry,famous for the name of Biminpims of an Engliih race, and glorieth much of thaAvarlike Baron John de Binningham,out of whichfamilly the Earle of Louth defended. The RiverAufobe difchargeth it ielfe through

thefe Auteres «to the Sea, called now Gallway-Bay. The County cLMajo is a fertill County,and pleaiant, abundantly rch in Cattaile-deere, Haukes,and plen-

ty of honey,taking the name from Majo, a litle City with a Biib>ps-Seain it. Somewhat higher lyeth the

County cf Siego, a plentious Countrie for feeding,

or"Conaght mould remaine unto him ftill, to beheld hereditärely for a hundred markes: but William FitzAdelm,whote poftmtie are called in Latine de Burgo, and Burkeor Bourkein Iriih. RobertiMufcegros,Gilbert Clare, Earle of GloHer,and Williamde Berninghamwere the firft Enghm.that fully fubdued this Countrie,and laboured to bring it to civil! Gouvernement. And

and raifiig of Cattaile, wholly alio coafting upon the Sea, betwixt it and Vlfter, Northward, runneth the RiverTrobir, which Ptolomeecalleth Ravius, as an

WilliamBourseand his lineall pofteritie', being called

Ftolomeefpeaketh of Banny, which iifuing out of the Lake Earne makes the bounds of Conaghtand Flften In fome place here about Ptolomeefetteth the Citie Nagnata,but what Citie it was, it is paft finding out.

Lords of all Conaght,gouverned this Province together with Visier,ïova long time in great peace & tran-

out-fet of the Lake-Erne is fevered from the neighbouring Counties Le Trim, and Rofcoman, by the G>mberous Curlew*hills, & the River Sud divideth

ii in Twaine:the Inhabitants calledthis River, which

quility, yea and raited thereout rich reveneues, untiM the onely daughter of WilliamBourse, ibleheirein He placed alfothe River Libinmin this traét, which groiTe both of Conaght and Vlfter was matched in Mr. Camdenhath reduced out of exile to Dublin his marriage with LeoneltDukeof Clarence,King Edward owne citie. But that place, which Ptolomeepointeth the thirds Sonne. But when as he abode ¿or the moft

part in England, and the Mortimershis fceires,& Succeifours looked but negligently to th-ir patrimonie, and inheritance in Ireland. The Bouges their Allies, whome they had appointed a« pverieers of their Lands, taking the advantage of tfceirLords abfence, and prefuming upon the trouble* in England, difpi-

fing the authority of Lawes , entring into alliance with the Iriíh by contracting marriagewith them,feized upon all Conacht to therrowne behoofe,& degenerating by little & little3 ?ayddown Engliíh civility, and tooke upon them the Iriíh behaviour , whereof fome who fetched tAeir pedegree from Richard Bouke, were called Clan-Richard: others Mac-Wil-

out, is now called the Bay of Siego, a road full of harbours under Siego, the principall place of this Country,where a Caftle ftandeth. Next unto this Eaftward lyeth the County of Letrim, enclofed withBreany* the pofeilion of the Ancient famillyofoQwv^, dek cended from Rotherick Monarch of Ireland. Vnder the County of Letsim Southward, lyeth Kofioman, running out a good length, but narrow clofed up betweene the Rivers Sue Weftward, and Shandu Eaftward, and on the Northfîde bounded with the Curben Mountaines.It is a plaine Countrie, but fruitfull feeding many heards of Cattaile, and being tilled yeel-

deth plenty of corue. And thus much for thefe parts.
